I appreciate professionalism. I treat people with respect, and I ask the same in return.

For the type of work in this portfolio, I will usually shoot in trade.

The TELEPHONE is a better method of planning a shoot than multiple messages back and forth here. I suck at (and hate) phone text.

If you're contacting me or responding to me through this profile, then the work in this portfolio represents type of shoot I expect. I would think that would be obvious, but clearly it is not. Before asking me about concepts, or "what do you have in mind", take a look at the work, or read the rest of this profile. This is what I do for my personal artistic work.

If you want to be friends, tags, photo comments and messages go a long way.

I'm currently shooting a series I'm calling (yep, you guessed it) Noirotica. Think Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, James M Cain and Lew Archer. Think Maltese Falcon, Touch of Evil, Night and the City and Double Indemnity. My studio was formerly a group of insurance offices. And by "formerly", I mean the 1940s. It looks it too. It's not really a fetish series, but it's kind of leaning that way. It's Erotic more in subtext, than in blatant, obvious visuals. It's black and white.



Sometimes I'll shoot grossly overexposed white pictures, can possibly be talked into the classic figure nude style, and might even ask you to shoot naked outdoors in the city.
Call me crazy.

* Again, I'll generally shoot most of this stuff purely in trade. However, if you feel you must pay me, I accept cash, cigarettes, plane tickets to exotic locations, expensive cars, DARK chocolate. I can be bribed with other items as well. An old Rolleiflex for example. Or an M series Leica. Out of date film would be nice. Maybe some Canon lenses.
And heroin.

I enjoy what I do, and try to make it a good time for everyone involved. Most models seem to agree. Some even come back for more.

Cheers,
Martini
